JACKSON, TENN, March 18 The ap.
plication of the Tennessee Midland
Railroad Company to the city Of Jack
son for subscription of $l25, 900 10
the capital stock Of the company was
considered today by the Board OF
Mayor and Aldermen. There was no
opposition to the application, and an
order was made for an election on the
18 h OF April. The Hon. Josiah Pat
terson addressed large meeting OF
citizens at the courthouse tonight. He
explained fully the respects OF the
company, reasons why subscriptions
were asked, and dwelt upon uron the
Importance Of the road to the State
aud the communities alorg its liue.
The citizens OF Jackson are practically
u canimous for the subscription, and
those informed on the subj ct say
there will not be ten votes polled
against it in the city. Great enthu.
siasm prevailed a. the meeting. Gen.
Patterson eaid, in concluding his
speech, that he would not say that the
road would be built, but hs would say
that II be met the same spirit In other
localities that he did in Jackson there
was no doubt Of it, and tie construc.
ton would be assured. There is much
interest felt in Jackson as tn what
Shelby county will do, Gs Memphis is
the western terminus Of the read. 1t
is believed here that rejection of aid
on the part Of Shelby county would
have very depressing effect in other
localities. AS for Jackson, 1t may be
put down as solid for the Tennessee
Midland.
